RIP The Handsome Woman

derrick-nathaniel:

code enforcement and police came to the gig at my house tonight. said they’ve been following our facebook events. their main concern was the safety / having too many people in a tiny space. they were really nice, offered to work with me on finding a place in town to do “legal” shows but we can’t do shows here anymore.

i’m working on moving all of our upcoming shows to other locations.

2009-2013
:(

“we will exist when this house is gone”

two amazing diy houses closed today (alderaan and the handsome woman)

this makes me extremely sad.

This is the official profile I did on Los Crudos. It aired on Vocalo in mid-December. Once again, many thanks to Martin and Jose of Los Crudos for their generosity in sharing their experiences. Also thanks to Benny (SouthKore Records), Lupe (Sin Orden), Nuco (Youth Against…) for their help.

Just listened to this. SUPER interesting profile on LOS CRUDOS and early Chicago punk.
